Exclamation Gen 3 Vega Chassis Cracked :'(

I've got a b4 version gen 3 vega chassis which after noticing not long after getting it, that the droop/wishbones were unequal.....then after our last club meeting I kept noticing the buggy pulling one way under acceleration.....which ended up causing me to break 3 rear wishbones which is more than I've done in a whole years worth of racing

My question is......can the chassis be repaired or will I have to replace it ???

There's me thinking u had been on the shandy, Lol.
Not sure of a fix for it, Lee mentioned tig'ing it, but I think that would weaken it, as I assume it's a hardened alloy?

I had my gen 1 chassis welded at the kick up with a bit of extra build up of weld it was solid as a rock...think it was common enough for this on the early vegan b4s
